How We Scaled Zep 30x in 2 Weeks (and Made It Faster)

This summer, our largest enterprise customers landed all at once. Service usage increased 30x in two weeks. We went from handling thousands of hourly requests to millions overnight. Our infrastructure didn't just bend under the load. It broke. Hard. 😬 Context retrieval latency spiked from a P95 of 200ms

Zep v3: Context Engineering Takes Center Stage

Context is what makes or breaks agent applications. Early on, everyone focused on prompt engineering—tweaking the exact wording to get better responses. But as we've built more complex agents, it's become clear the real work is in context engineering: systematically assembling the right information around

Graphiti Adds FalkorDB Support as Project Approaches 14,000 Stars

The Graphiti community is hitting major milestones: nearly 14,000 GitHub stars in just eight months, with 35+ contributors and 25,000 weekly PyPI downloads. This growth reflects real developer adoption, much of it driven by the popularity of the Graphiti MCP server, which gives AI assistants powerful knowledge graph

What is Context Engineering, Anyway?

Working with large language models reveals an interesting shift in how we talk about making these systems work well. The term "prompt engineering" dominated early discussions, but you'll increasingly hear engineers talking about "context engineering" instead. This isn't just semantic drift. It&

The Private Agent Memory Fallacy

This is the first in a series of articles exploring the business of agents, data strategy in the AI era, and how companies and regulators should respond. The concept sounds compelling: a secure "wallet" for your personal AI memory. Your context (preferences, traits, and accumulated knowledge) travels seamlessly

Lies, Damn Lies, & Statistics: Is Mem0 Really SOTA in Agent Memory?

Mem0 recently published research claiming to be the State-of-the-Art in Agent Memory, besting Zep. In reality, Zep outperforms Mem0 by 10% on their chosen benchmark. Why the discrepancy? We dig in to understand. 📍Correction: In an earlier version of this article, we erred in how we calculated Zep's

GPT-4.1 and o4-mini: Is OpenAI Overselling Long-Context?

We put OpenAI’s latest models through the LongMemEval benchmark—here’s why raw context size alone isn't enough.
